I began this project to clean up my window regulators in an attempt to speed them up a bit, like all projects it has grown exponentially

.

I got my inspiration from this thread over on 7club.

There are a couple notes I would like to make:
1. When removing the passenger door panel remember to pop out the window switch and remove the philips head screw.
2. I elected not to spray silicon lubricant down the run channels as I figure over time that will just collect dust and compound the problem. I also elected not to remove the run channels so for now I have left them as is.
3. To operate the passenger window both the driver's and passenger's window switches must be hooked up.

As of now, I have only done the passenger window regulator, I expect the driver's side to be much the same.

Now, for the rest of the project! I will be addressing several issues:
1. Broken interior passenger door handle
2. Poor looking 93 plastics on both doors
3. Dirty interior door panels
4. Broken/Cracked mounting studs on door plastics
5. Stripped studs on exterior door handles

I have begun this process on the passenger side and am verifying my methods to ensure that I don't pass along any incorrect information. I will post up some details as I go and will go more in depth when I tackle the driver's side.
